Picture this scenario:
Retail piles into big shorts expecting a Black Monday-style crash. US stock futures open deep red. More retail goes max short.
Then Trump drops an Iran deal announcement out of nowhere.
Oil dumps hard. Global markets rip higher. Massive short squeeze unfolds and bears get absolutely wrecked.
This is the kind of whipsaw move that punishes the crowd. Everyone positioned for doom, then a macro headline flips the script. Classic trap setup—retail gets baited into max pain positioning right before the rug pull in the other direction.
Stay disciplined. Don't chase the narrative. The market loves to hurt the most people possible.
